Re: Yanmar 4JH3TE Exhaust Elbow

Re: Pearson Ariel Circumnavigation

As for the outboard in the well, it is a good arrangement. I have (and use) my "plug" that installs in the well once you pull your motor. I have sailed offshore with the motor in the well, and...

Re: Pearson Ariel Circumnavigation

The Way was actually a Pearson Commander, it went most of the way around.

Exclamation Beware the Rocks!!!

As a Sailor, I have a great aversion to going up on the rocks... This post is about a different kind of rock... More precisely stones.

Re: GPS + Sounder = Bottom Contour?

Re: Can't change MMSI # in handheld with DSC????

The reason they do this is to prevent "MMSI Spoofing" where you would (for example) put in a known MMSI so as to send out false distress signals, or intercept DSC calls to that station.

Re: What's Important, What's not.

Skip the water maker.... Or at least wait until you have been out for a year and decide then... I am quite sure you will decide to skip it then.

Re: Sailboat hits Main Street bridge in Jacksonvill, FL

I dare say that the OP is either not a Sailor, or has extremely limited experience.

Bridge tenders are in a tough spot. If they open too early, they get complaints from drivers, too late and...

Re: Yanmar Problems

I call BS on this (as a broad sweeping statement). The Racor 500a I use can flow about 10x as much fuel as the motor (Yanmar 4jh5te) will use. Given the surface area, resistance is very unlikely to...
